Beatrix Potter (1866-1943), The Tale of The Faithful Dove, first edition, original green cloth, dust jacket, rare first edition, this copy number 83 of 100, published Warne, 1955. Original green cloth. Front cover lettered in gilt within a gilt single rule border. Spine lettered in gilt, in the original cream-coloured dust jacket printed in dark green.Background; this is the first edition of a story written in 1907 for the Warne children, and rediscovered by Fruing Warne in 1918. He had expressed a preference for this title over Beatrix Potter's own preference Tale of Jenny Crow. Beatrix jibbed at the rather 'namby pamby' pigeons, since they left little scope for pictorial variety- 'it is too much pigeon over and over'- and she had never been good at birds. Potter could not be convinced to provide illustrations for this work and Warne at the time were not keen on using another illustrator that she recommended, and as a result this book was not published until this un-illustrated posthumous 1955 edition.Bibliography; Linder, A history of the writings of Beatrix Potter; pp1236-8 and 1715 and Taylor, Whalley, Hobbs, Battrick, The artist and her world, p168Provenance; sent in for sale by a member of the Warne family.

[Prince Lee Boo] The History of Prince Lee Boo; To which are added, The Life of Paul Cuffee, A Man of Colour; Also, some Account of John Sackhouse, The Esquimaux. Printed by Evans And Sons, Cheapside, 1822. 12mo, leather-backed boards; pp. [2 (title, verso blank)], [5]-180; port. frontis, 4 full-page engravings to text, 2 decorative tail-pieces. Prince Lee Boo was one of the first Pacific Islanders to visit Britain. He was brought by the survivors of an East India Company ship wrecked on Oroolong. Dubbed ''The Black Prince'' he charmed London society with his intelligence and poise before his death at 20 from smallpox, six months after his arrival. The story was originally recorded by English poet George Keate, but there appear to have been other versions, such as this one. This collection appears to have been printed in Dublin in the same year. It has not been possible to trace this English edition via Copac, ESTC or Worldcat, however the pagination agrees with the Dublin edition.

[Leslie, Charles] A New History of Jamaica from the Earliest Accounts to the Taking of Porto Bello by Vice-Admiral Vernon In Thirteen Letters from a Gentleman to his Friend. Printed for J. Hodges, at the Looking-glass on London-bridge, 1740. 8vo, full calf, spine gilt in compartments; pp. iv, 340; 2 folding maps (tearing to one crease of first map, slight affecting image, map still whole). Second edition. Leslie was a Barbadian writer from a family with strong Caribbean connections. These letters cover aspects of Jamaican life and history from the laws to the lawless - especially pirates. The book is an important source on the slave trade of the time, recording the conditions in which they were kept and their customs and beliefs. It was first published in 1739, during a period of rising tension between Britain and Spain over Caribbean possesions, and this second edition added a new chapter touching on Vernon's successes against Spain.. Binding a little scuffed and bumped with loss of gilt to spine, internally toned and water-stained, with marking to maps, still a good copy.

Du Choul, Guilielmo Veterum Romanorum religio, castrametatio, disciplina militaris ut & balneae. Ex antiquis numismatibus & lapidibus demonstrata. è Gallico in Latinum translata. stelaedami: Apud Janssonio-Waesbergios, 1685. 4to, full contemporary calf, spine gilt in compartments, lettered directly in one, red and black speckled edges; pp. [8], 278, [24], [2], 121, [3] (numerous pagination errors, correct by signatures); eng. frontis., title printed in red and black with woodcut vignette, folding plate, numerous numismatic, military, religious and other vignettes to text, some full page. First Latin edition. with Godwyn, Thomas Romanæ Historiæ Anthologia Recognita & Aucta. Printed for R. Chiswell, at the Rose and Crown in St. Paul's Churchyard, 1689. 8vo, full calf; pp. [6], 270, [20]. 15th ed.. Board edges a little rubbed, joints cracking but still attached, some bleed through from vignettes, tear to edge of folding plate affecting image, else bar some slight dusty marking and foxing, clean internally. Godwyn showing age, some MSS to endpapers, but very good.

S.R. Gent. [Hill, John (attrib.)] The Gardener's Pocket-Book; or, Country Gentleman's Recreation. Printed for W. Owen, at Homer's-Head, in Fleet-Street; and R. Goadby, at Sherbone, [c.1754-5]. 12mo, not bound, stitched as issued; pp. iv, 43, [1 (advertisements)]. One of two undated editions, both scarce. The anonymous author presents his work to correct 'Old-stile' dating (the calendar reform of 1752 having adjusted dates by 11 days) and because other works were 'deficient in Matter and Method'. The preface expresses confidence that 'the whole is delivered in so plain and familiar a Manner, as to cause no Mistakes.' ESTC lists three institutional copies of this edition. Hill appears to have been a jobbing writer, with a lean towards botany, producing the 26-volume The Vegetable System at the behest of his patron Lord Bute. Whilst he appears to have published much which is justly forgotten his academic botany works seem better favoured - the first Linnæan flora of Britain was due to Hill. ESTC N18199.. Title and rear pages a little dusty, edges creased and frayed but still very good.

Guyot, Edme-Gilles Dictionnaire des Postes. Paris: Chez la Veuve Delatour, 1754. 4to, full calf, spine decorated in compartments, lettered directly in one in gilt, all edges red, red star endpapers; folding letterpress table; provenance: Francesco Berio (armorial bookplate upper pastedown) - William, 3rd Viscount Dudley and Ward (armorial bookplate upper pastedown). First edition of this vital guide to the post offices of France. The guide addressed failures of delivery owing to incorrect addresses by breaking down districts and their designated offices.. Binding showing some wear, with slight loss to foot of spine, though joints still tight, pages a touch cockled, with some marking etc internally but generally very good.

Austen, Jane; Thomson, Hugh (illus) Pride and Prejudice. George Allen, 1894. 8vo, org. decorative green cloth gilt, upper board with elaborate peacock design, spine lettered and decorated similarly in gilt, a.e.g.; numerous illus to text by Thomson. First illustrated edition. Often regarded as the most beautifully produced of Austen's works, the quality of Thomson's drawings, and their expression of the spirit of Austen, has led to them becoming as synonymous with her work as Shepard is with Milne.. A little cocked, touch of shelf-wear esp. to head and foot of spine, a little foxing to pre- and post-lims but a nice copy.

Onwhyn, Thomas Glass of Grog. Read & Co., 1853. 12mo, 10-leaves, concertina-folded between boards, upper board with paper label duplicating first leaf; ilus. by Onwhyn. 'Containing 50 excuses for the GLASS, and only one objection against it.'' A satirical piece of ephemera in support of drinking spirits with a humorous nod to balance in the one objection offered as from a 'distinguished member of the Tem. Soc.' - 'Taking a glass too much'. Onwhyn was well-known illustrator and cartoonist, especially known for his pirated edition of The Pickwick Papers (Dickens referred to 'the singular Vileness of the Illustrations'). He produced a number of cheap satirical pamphlets for less prestigious publishers like Rock Bros and Payne, satirising contemporary mores and cant. For all their disposable nature, they are not without sly political sensibility and a keen eye - like his comparison of poor and rich in Pictures of London. He experimented with comic strips in A Railway Adventure that Mr Larkin Encountered with the Lady of Captn. Coleraine, illustrated comedy books like Mr Perry Winks Submarine Adventures, and satirised the growing commercial control of Harrogate's famous water. Despite his prolific output he was overshadowed by more famous contemporaries and his ephemeral works remain scarce today. Worldcat only lists one copy of this panorama at the V & A.. Staining to upper label matched internally with variable staining to the right hand side of the folds, however a tight, generally clean copy of scarce satire.

Wotton, Sir Henry The State of Christendom or, A most Exact and Curious Discovery of many Secret Passages, and Hidden Mysteries of the Times. Printed for Henry Moseley, and are to sold at his Shop at the Prince's Arms in St Paul's Church-yard, 1657. 4to, full early calf; lacking port. frontis. Scarce first ed. The State of Christendom, published in 1657, is an almost forgotten Elizabethan treatise, and a significant but neglected work of late Elizabethan scholarship and political thought. It is argued that the treatise was authored by members of the circle of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex (specifically Sir Henry Wotton) in the mid fifteen-nineties, and that it reflects the political and scholarly concerns of Essex and his followers, especially Anthony Bacon, and their engagement with Catholic politics and polemic. The author displays a scholarly methodology and a particular interest in tyranny and the remedies for restraining tyrants. It sheds a fascinating light on the context that shaped the discussion of political idea in late Elizabethan England - and the way it affected the actions of the Essex circle. Sir Henry Wotton was an Elizabethan diplomat and poet who was part of the Earl of Essex's household up until Essex's aborted rebellion. Unlike his fellow knightly secretaries, Wotton seems not to have been involved with the Earl's mad scheme, but he fled England anyway in the aftermath and was not welcome back whilst Elizabeth lived. He settled at Venice, where he wrote this work, a survey of contemporary politics which left nothing to the imagination. So controversial was the book that it remained unpublished until 18 years after his death. According to the introduction, he considered murdering 'some notable traitor to his prince and country' in order to win back favour and return home but thought better of the plan. He went on to Florence and joined the court of Ferdinand, Duke of Tuscany. It was Ferdinand who sent him to Scotland in 1602, bearing letters which revealed an attempt on the life of James VI of Scotland (later James I of England), and taking 'such Italian antidotes against poison as the Scots till then had been strangers to'. This service to James paid off when James ascended to the throne of England. Wotton was recalled via his brother - Lord Wotton - knighted and offered three ambassadorial posts. Wotton chose Venice as it was the least financially ruinous. This precaution was not entirely successful. Wotton's career from then resembled a rollercoaster - being at one point arrested for debt - but he ended his days as a respected Provost of Eton under Charles I. This copy displays an interesting bibliographic point. The rear endpapers are formed from binder's waste, leftover parts of other books used in the binding process. In this case they are from a printed edition of Gerardus Vossius' letters. The letter in this case being addressed 'Serenissimae et Sapientissimae Christinae'. Vossius was a scholar and theologian who, despite moderate views, still managed to be accused of heresy over his history of the Pelagian controversies.
